Stacie Garrett's eldest son, an Air Force servicemember, surprised his two younger siblings at the airport in Orlando, Florida, on Dec. 4.

An airman gave his younger brother and sister an early Christmas present earlier this month, surprising his siblings at an airport in Orlando, Florida, a sweet moment that was captured in a video that has since gone viral.

Stacie Garrett shared a TikTok video capturing her kids' reunion on Dec. 4, writing in text overlaid on the clip, "Surprising them with a weekend with their brother who is in the Air Force for an early Christmas is a feeling I wish I could bottle up and keep forever."

In the short video, which has already racked up more than 1 million views, Garrett's younger kids are seen sharing a conversation when their older brother walks up without them noticing and picks one of them up from their perch on the airport floor. He then gestures for his sister to join the hug, and the three siblings share a long embrace.

Garrett shared the video clip with Storyful and said her older son applied for leave from the Air Force in order to surprise his family and spend time with them over the weekend.
